DDR3 is insanely expensive vs. DDR2 for little benefit. It's all or nothing with current boards and the choice of DDR2 vs 3 with DDR3 RAM being 2-3X the price of DDR2 last time I checked. I was saying having X48 chipset w/ 16X lanes for whatever use makes sense if mobo is same price as P45 (x48 lite IMHO), nothing more. DHSinclair wrote: > j., > A bit confused?
